<![CDATA[Comments from literato]]> <![CDATA[Comments from literato]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Question of the Day: Are You Getting an iPhone 3G?]]> Yep, I´m buying it, but not during the first weekend. I prefer to wait some days/weeks and see what happens. I wouldn´t be pleased with a 100€ cut off two weeks after I purchase the iPhone.

Nevertheless, enjoy your July 4th day.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Hands-Free Law, Smands-Free Law: Distracting, Dangerous and Ridiculous Things You Can Still Do While Driving]]> That law rules in Western Europe since several years... and people still uses the cellphone without hands-free.
Don´t worry, that´s another evolution mechanism: only clever people (those who use hands-free)survive, and the human race gives another step forward.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Apple Supposedly Working on iPhone With Slide-Out Keyboard (Realllly?)]]> @graphicwave: Exactly what I was thinking.

Slide out keyboard? If I´d be looking for one of those, I´d prefer a Blackberry.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on European Bastards to Get Free iPhone <i>and</i> Great Monthly Plans]]> Another thing to be considered is that beverages are ceaper here in Spain than in any other country of Europe.

But why am I trying to convince you, Jesús? You should know everything I´ve written!

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on European Bastards to Get Free iPhone <i>and</i> Great Monthly Plans]]> @jesusdiaz: @Step666: Belgian, german or czech beers are wonderful (ok, I like almost all kinds of beer). But try to find one of those "sunny afternoons" on one of those countries. Percentage of sunny days in Spain is over all other european countries (maybe not in the case of Croatia and Greece, which have same weather than us).

Take your friends and you favourite beer with you, and we´ll give you the sunny day. Probably the beer you´re carrying could be find here, but that´s another point.
Same if you prefer to go to Greece or Croatia; nice weather, wonderful sea, and mediterranean people.

What else?

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Stupidest Thief Ever Checks Reflection in CCTV Camera After Swiping Kid's Necklace]]> @djheath: A little bit of "popular culture" to relax ourselves. Gadgets are still the core of the site.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Pay-As-You-Go iPhone Available in Europe]]> Considering the huge amount of data that an iPhone would transfer through Wi-Fi or 3G (in order to take advantage of all its capability), I don´t want to think about the bills of the italians... I prefer subsidized iPhone with a fixed data plan.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on European Bastards to Get Free iPhone <i>and</i> Great Monthly Plans]]> @Sottren: Sorry to say that the best place in the world to drink beer, wine or any other alcoholic drink is in Europe, and it´s called Spain. Go and ask our neighbours from UK, Netherlands, Germany or Sweden...

@untitledjL: Sure, but he deserves what you did him. A little bit more informed, and he would have known that another iPhone was coming.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Steve Jobs Looked Thinner Than Usual at WWDC—So What?]]> Check out the differences between Jobs in the first gen iPod presentation and Monday´s event... this "illuminati" has lost half his weight!

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on iPhone 3G in Black or White?]]> Personally I prefer the white one. Both of them are very nice, and I would be pleased with any of them. But, and this is the point, considering that most of the people will buy the 8GB one (black), and a big percentage of the people buying the 16GB one will choose the black one too, having a white iPhone is the only way to distiguish myself form the hordes of people that will buy it at those prices announced.

Maybe the black one seems better, but I think I will buy the white one.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on iPhone 3G: The Stuff that Didn't Get Upgraded]]> IT would be very nice to have a copy/paste function, but the main improvements have been done. I suppose that the copy/paste will be available in a future firmware so I´ll buy an 16GB iPhone.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Are You Going to Get the iPhone 3G?]]> Yes, I´m going to get it as soon as it´ll be available. One year waiting for an iPhone, and when it finally arrives Spain, I´m not going to let the time pass.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Bierstick Requires Busty Girl to Operate]]> Great! I´ll drink a beer while waiting for news from WWDC

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on iPhone 2 Leaked Pics (?) Show 3G Video Calling With Other Phones and iChat, Plus (RED) Version]]> @Eclectified: That´s quite easy to understand: if you want to do a video call, you´ll need a phone with a front-facing camera. That means a camera in the front face of the phone, not the camera in the back side. So, video calls can be done in those mobiles with TWO cameras: one in the front side, and one in the back side. While doing the video call you will use the one in the front side, and the other one will be used to take pictures as in other mobile phones.

But this thing of video calls has been in the european market for, at least, two years. I can´t believe that there in the US it´s such an strange thing...

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on iPhone 2 Leaked Pics (?) Show 3G Video Calling With Other Phones and iChat, Plus (RED) Version]]> Only few more days, only few more days...

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on A Year of Tortured Patience: Holding Out for the Second-Gen iPhone]]> Yes Adam, you´re right. I´ve been waiting for a year too, and these last days it seems that the time doesn´t pass... Only few more days, only few more days.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Forbes: iPhone Could Kill the DS (Spore Shows Us Why They're Wrong)]]> I think iPhone and DS aren´t in the same league. Even more, they play different sports. They aren´t competitors at all.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Are These Two Smaller iPhone Touchscreens?]]> @alpacalypse: You´re right. I think those two screen are for any of those chinese iphonesque devices. I don´t believe the rumour; not this time.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on The Ultimate Cheap Camcorder Battlemodo]]> iPhone mixed with camcorders? I think that you´re anxious for the new iPhone, and your dreams are mixed with the reality.
:)

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Apple WWDC Liveblog: Monday June 9]]> @PDSM: They´ve already done that, because for the last month iPhone has been unavailable in most of the stores. They´re trying to create a huge demand for the iPhone in the first days, so marketing and lack of phones in the stores will increase the number of iPhones sold during summer. Seems that 2nd quarter will be very profitable por uncle Jobs...

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Question of the Day: Do You Actually Want a Tiny Laptop?]]> I want something in between an smartphone and a tiny laptop, and I guess that next week I will find something that fits my requirements. I heard somewhere about something called iPhone. Hahaha.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on How I Sold My iPhone in 24 Hours For More Than I Paid]]> Anybody can explain the reason to buy an old iPhone, when the new one will be released the next week? Even if the 2nd gen iPhone is not a the stores until July, I can´t understand that business.

Personally, I will wait for the new one. Meanwhile, good luck with those profitable trades with your 1st gen iPhones.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Latest Round of Semi-Credible 3G iPhone Specs: 22 Percent Thinner]]> @tucker: Ok, you´ll need to wait a little bit more, because it won´t be on stores next week.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Latest Round of Semi-Credible 3G iPhone Specs: 22 Percent Thinner]]> copy/paste is the only thing it needs... and the ability to dispatch "margarita" cocktails. :)

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Question of the Day: Will the 3G iPhone Be Thinner or Thicker?]]> @nwaringa: Hmmm, good idea...

Personally I think it will be thinner, because it´s been the evolution of other Apple devices. Think about 1st gen iPod and following generations...

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on iPhone <i>Officially</i> Coming to Spain]]> I´ve read this info in at least 3 newspapers, with the same source (Europa Press):

[business.timesonline.co.uk]

It would be great if the price of the iPhone is 99€...

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on iPhone <i>Officially</i> Coming to Spain]]> @TimurY: Ok, didn´t understood your joke. Now, the only thing I can say is SECOND!!!

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on iPhone <i>Officially</i> Coming to Spain]]> @TimurY: Maybe not for you, but here in Spain we have been waiting for the iPhone for one year. There are people that don´t want to buy it in the US and then hack/jailbreak it; we prefer to get the iPhone "officially".

I´ve tried to find that web ('coz I read about it this morning), but it´s not available anymore.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on GPS On the iPhone 2: Do Not Want]]> Well, sorry to disagree, but I think that GPS would be a very interesting add on the new iPhone. The spirit of the device is to include everything in only one gadget, isn´t it? So if I have my phone, mp3 player, internet browser, contacts agenda, e-mail, and so on, why am I going to need another device to have GPS navigation?

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Windows Live for Mobile Hits Nokia S60 Phones]]> That phone is a brick. Full of apps, good performance, but as horrible as it seems in the picture.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Windows Live for Mobile Hits Nokia S60 Phones]]> @freakshow1: Have you ever heard about video call??

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Quotable: Bill Gates Hates Monopolies?!]]> Of course, they hate monopolies: they like to compete (windows vista Vs windows XP, windows 7 Vs windows Vista...). This man was obviously drunk if he said that.

]]> <![CDATA[literato commented on Phoenix to NASA: "Houston, We Have a Prob*static*"]]> What´s going on with NASA? All their missions reports problems with something... Costs reduction?
